Electrical Service to Guest House

The 3 wire service to the guest house runs through a meter....then a 100 amp disconnect. Through some underground conduit...up the outside wall....into the attic(No conduit).....then into a 100amp panel. It has a 100 amp main breaker. There is a ground rod. My question is this...should the ground and neutral be linked together?

Some information that will help:
You said there is a ground rod; where is the large ground wire currently connected - in the outdoor 100 amp disconnect?

How many wires run between the outside disconnect and the main panel. Are the wires individual or are they in a sheath?
